One had scaly skin, the other was ABSENT scaly skin. It's pretty clear which one was keeping his appointments with the dermatologist. Anyway, I liked them both! 👍😊
This is simply beautiful. Your two styles working together in tandem and reforming to make a cohesive piece. The uniquely structured stanzas. The imagery. Everything an absolute win!
Nah I really liked it! I like the added boundaries to have to work around/with. A little change of pace is always good with me. Brilliant writing, you two!
(Both) the final stanzas are pure magic. Greek myths are turning into facts right before our eyes.
Quiz: Do you want to fly or do you want to sleep with monsters?
Fly.
But fictionally? The second one.
I’ll post the results in two months.

Naw, your scribble poems did more justice to the gods.

Thank you H.R. you're too kind with your words! I was worried it was too stiff but made Jozef do it anyway!

These are both well-researched extravaganzas.
Such a banal comment, but it's true! The research that went into this is ridiculous. My Grecian hats are tipped to both of you ^_^.
I feel like I just got extra credit on my paper!!!
Joezf I like yours even better with that fifth stanza, it really comes full circle
We saved the best for last in this post ;) Yours is proper. But I enjoyed writing in a very strict style for a change.
If you want to get real fancy, we could go for a Ghazal one day
Beautiful... 💞
Thank you!! I love this style of poem. Jozef is a saint for indulging me
@E.R. Davis your writing has an effortless flow. So easy to drift away in...
Jozef, of course I'm a fan...
and above all, I'm a fan of collaborations. This is lovely work by both of you!
Thank you Sylvia!! I'm perfectionist and the lines that I didn't use iambic are going to haunt my nightmares so I appreciate the kind words!
